The Triad of Reality: Mass, Energy, and Consciousness as Fundamental Coordinates of the Universe
This paper formulates a concept of ontological parity between three core entities: mass, energy, and consciousness. We argue that consciousness is an irreducible, fundamental coordinate of reality, on par with mass and energy, and cannot be derived from material substrates. We outline a discrete, deterministic framework for consciousness that obeys strict conservation laws. A mechanism for interaction between discrete consciousness nodes is proposed via an infinitely fast, quantum-like information channel, where information is defined as the structural density of energy. Finally, we substantiate the eternal, non-teleological (non-directional) evolutionary character of this triune system.
